The bar chart presents a data on the amount of three different kinds of sea animals which were seen in the Gormez Strait in the 12 years time interval, from 2006 to 2018. Overall, seals are the ones who were recorded most often, while whales were rather rare guests. Dolphins’ record grew significantly since 2006.

In general, seals’ apperance didn’t fall lower than a quarter, despite a slight fall in the 2010, which was the lowest point for them, after which their appearance started to rise, reaching the peak in 2018 with 45 records.

The record of dolphins in the Gormez Straits, despite being the lowest in the start, was consistently rising, with 16 appearances in 2006 to a little over a half, being the highest result in the bar chart.

Meanwhile, whales’ record didn’t differ much, being approximately the same through the years, moving in the 21 to 29 records range

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and provides an overview of the trends. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the data reporting that affect the clarity of the summary. For instance, the student reports dolphin numbers as '16' and 'a little over a half' (which is unclear in this context), whereas the visual description provides different figures. Additionally, the whale data is described as being in the '21 to 29' range, which contradicts the provided data. To improve, ensure that the numerical data extracted from the chart is reported accurately and that comparisons are based on the actual figures provided. Focus on maintaining consistency between the trends described and the numbers used to support them.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is organized into logical paragraphs, and the progression of ideas is generally easy to follow. However, the cohesion could be improved by using more sophisticated linking devices. Some transitions between sentences feel a bit abrupt. To improve, try to use a wider variety of cohesive devices (e.g., 'In terms of...', 'Regarding...', 'Conversely...') to create a smoother flow between the different species being discussed.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there is some repetition and some imprecise word choices. For example, using 'the ones who' for animals is slightly unnatural; 'the species most frequently recorded' would be better. Additionally, terms like 'amount of three different kinds' should be 'number of three different kinds' when referring to countable animals. Aim to use more varied synonyms for 'appearance' and 'record' to demonstrate a higher level of lexical flexibility. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that impact the overall quality. Issues include article usage (e.g., 'presents a data' should be 'presents data'), preposition errors, and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'didn't fall lower than a quarter'). There are also some punctuation and spelling errors (e.g., 'apperance'). To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, the correct use of articles, and practicing complex sentence structures to ensure they are error-free.
